The Ultimate Miami Mojito Map

Updated: This was originally posted on June 6, but we wanted to bring it back to remind you how delicious an end-of-summer mojito can be!

Sure, it doesn't have an official stamp or Wikipedia-backing, but it's common knowledge: The mojito is the drink of Miami. Not only is it our favorite warm-weather libation, but with its distinctive Cubano flavor and refreshing mint kiss, the muddled drink is a perfect representation of The Magic City—a combination of tastes, a hint of sweetness, and a nod to our Latin-infused heritage. Most importantly, it tastes friggin' awesome.

So, to make this the #summerofmojitos (we just made that up, but we're thinking it ought to stick), we've prepared a must-memorize map to the city's coolest mojito offerings. From blackberry infusions and mojito-tinis to classic mint/sugar/rum combos, we've got the 13 best concoctions to sample in four key Miami neighborhoods. Don't forget to bookmark this cheat-sheet—you don't need to wait 'til the end of the week to celebrate Summer Fridays.

Drink up! We've got all of the 305's best mojitos right here on one can't-miss map.

The Dome Restaurant and Caviar Bar
Nothing is classier than caviar — except maybe caviar with a mojito-tini at The
Dome. They’re calling it a Mojito Martini: same familiar mojito, but served up, in the most executive way imaginable. ($12) The Dome Restaurant and Caviar Bar, 271 Miracle Mile; 305-
648-4999.

Talavera Cocina Mexicana
It’s been said that cilantro is the most polarizing flavor – you either love it or it tastes like soap. If cilantro doesn't remind you of chewing on an Ivory bar, order up some pico de gallo, tacos, and a cilantro
mojito, which favors the herb over traditional mint. ($12)Talavera Cocina Mexicana, 2299 Ponce De Leon Boulevard; 305-444-2955.

Tarpon Bend
Mojito Madness Thursdays at Tarpon Bend not only has mojitos on tap for $3.50, but they make them fresh with watermelon, blackberry, grapefruit, pineapple, or
cantaloupe. Your doctor will be proud you're get your daily doses of fruit and rum!Tarpon Bend, 65 Miracle Mile; 305-444-3210.

Sugarcane Raw Bar
Pun alert! Sometimes you can’t beat a classic, but often you can beet it. Order up Sugarcane’s Beet Mojito for a iron-laden (and richer) spin on a classic mojito. ($12 per glass, $45 for a pitcher)Sugarcane Raw Bar, 3250 NE 1st Avenue; 786-369-0353.

Balans
You can find a YouTube clip of the “Amazing Bathroom at Balans in Brickell,” but we keep coming back for the Pineapple Sage Mojito, a complex take on the Cuban classic. ($11.50)Balans, 901 South Miami Ave; 305-534-9191.

The Mondrian South Beach
Have a margarita at the Mondrian’s hotel bar and then head into Asia de Cuba for
lobster boniato or Mexican donuts followed by round two: a triple berry or mango
mojito. ($16)The Mondrian South Beach, 1100 West Avenue; 305-514-1500.

Prime 112
The best treat alongside a meal at Prime 112 isn’t a top notch celeb spotting, but a
fresh mojito from their mixologist. ($15)Prime 112, 101 Ocean Drive; 305-532-8112

When I lived in London, I often went to Borough Market to poke around, pillage the sample trays, and get my fresh vegetables for the week. My friend Katelyn introduced me to a food stall that had the most incredible grilled cheese I have ever had. Apparently, this grilled cheese from Bill Oglethorpe at Kappacasein read
